THE COMING RECESSION IS NOT AN ACCIDENT
It is a planned takeover of American's assets. For financial gain and more, to get us on our knees - in fear - begging for a New (World) Order designed by the Power Elite.
Who do you think is creating the New World Order (NWO)?
It is being created right before your eyes. By Specific Intention. However the world doesn’t realize that it is intentional. That’s the plan, and it is being executed on schedule.
Those who laugh at America’s apparent demise do not realize that the joke is on the entire world population, with one exception, the ‘Power Elite’. As you say,“Regardless of your opinion on the matter.”
You say,“America must reform itself”, but do not see that America is the initial instrument to reform the entire world system. This is why, whatever country you are in, as you said, you are “quite nervous.” It is not accidental that what happens in NYC, D.C., and Chicago (Commodities Exchange) affects everyone in the entire world.
“Evaluate the parties inside it to check whether or not they will damage the”_entire_world “or not.” They will damage the entire world population, with one exception, the ‘Power Elite’. That’s by specific intention. One fundamental reason is that, as scientists advise, the exploding population growth is a great risk that must be dealt with. Who is the dealer? Go figure. It won’t take two seconds to figure out whose dealing the cards and whether or not the deck has been pre-arranged.
Many people are “quite nervous”, for the specific reason that they have by specific intention, already been made, economic slaves. Our economic masters are the ‘Power Elite’. That’s why they can take $850,000,000,000+ USD of the slaves money at the raise of their hands, and a stroke of their pen, and give it to themselves.
Best find a higher master. Best do what the American dollar says to do,“In God We Trust”. Best pray that the true God reveals Himself to you and your family, as I also do. There are more powerful men thinking and executing their intentions despite our thoughts, may we also use our hearts as well as our heads. Keep your head up and your heart warm!
I am praising a New World Order, the NWO that is not created by selfish, evil men, but the NWO that is created by the generous Creator of man! This is written about directly at the end of the Master Designer’s book. Please take a moment to look at the last two chapters of the Bible and you will immediately see for yourself the NWO that is worthy of praise. You’ll be glad you did!
Arm yourself with the following information - when the appointed time comes for these events to happen, you will know what is going on:
www.wake-up.org
Your god is a MYTH.

If this is EVER going to stop, it is up to US.

Electing the right people,ELECT AMERICANS
Election day is coming up. In terms of candidates, "product confusion"
abounds. For the most part, responsible citizens of the state must
choose the candidate of their choice on the basis of self-promoting
advertisements, carefully designed to avoid any serious discussion of
issues. Many candidates apparently want to avoid the public, and if a
reporter asks them a question which they can't or don't want to answer,
the candidate gives a non-responsive "sound bite." Others take in huge
sums of campaign contributions, and fill out forms so that you can't
tell who the real contributors were or what happened to the money.
How public corruption works
One of the leading ideas behind our system of government is that all
citizens are (or should be) equal in the eyes of the law. The purpose
of corruption is to ensure that equality before the law is no more than
a naive and idle dream. It does this by siphoning off public resources
for the benefit of the favored few, and also by assuring that the
favored few don't have to share the tax and regulatory burdens of their
fellow citizens.
----------
if you want to make sure that the White House is not going to be
tainted by corruption, don't elect a president who grew up in the
Chicago political system WITH MANY MIDDLE EASTERN TIES?Things done in the ILL SENATE,were DONE IN THE
US SENATE
those us senate/housecommittees knew the fraud and turned the other way for hush The treas dept has racked up the highest AWOL hours out of 18 depts in the last year alone
LOOK AT OBAMAS the veterans dept was the other with the highest AWOL
hours every recorded (no wonder we had the Reid hospital scandal)
OBAMA/and others STANDS FOR A WORLD GOVERNMENT
What obama and democrats thought was election fund corruption with many middle east players has ended up in the middle east bankrupting the country,and he/they use ploys like votor fraud to raise doubts ,divert attention ,gain the majority in congress thinking it is re-election fund skimming with huge pay-offs wake up people how do you defeat the strongest military in the world? you send in middle east folks to corrupt the health care ,voter fraud ,VA scandles,congress AWOL hours(treas. dept,VA dept)Ayers bombing the WTC and Pentigon,and years later those same things were bombed again?WAKE UP AMERICA
why did dodd buy a house in Ireland ,or harken in the bahama's ,or REP.Rangle in the DR? America will become 2nd class people in the world,with the help of young voters that can't comprehend the many layers behind the Democrats,Obama and company are like a 57 card deck of cards?
ties with rezko and the heath fraud in this country,ties with middle east BILLIONARES ,even far left American Billionares,most that hate the middle class for all the perks they and the lower class Think they have a right ,to tax the high incomes to pay for it? look buffett gives billions to gates instead of helping the tribes in washington state,that he gets polosi to ear mark 120+ million for SALMON?
are you an idiot? this has NOTHING to do with obama, this is simply how republicans do business, nobody ever mentions that they are STEALING this money right from our pockets.

This country does not have capitalism but a corporatist Oligarchy. They write the rules to Always favor them , they runs the country through their political drones that dumb people vote for, but Oligarchy hijacks the politicians via “legal” lobbies. It is a racket , or nothing is what it appears to be. It is fundamentally NOT sound ,opposite of what Bush says, there is no “fix” once average citizen realize how hollow this corporatist Oligarchy is , it will be finally over.
That will be a good thing so it can be built up correctly from scratch, till then work “without” credit, pay as you go .

I used to work for American General in Houston, Texas, which, in 2001 was bought by AIG. AIG is full of crooks, thieves and liars.......ALL. I wouldn't put money in that company if I had a gun pointed to my head. This does not surprise me.

How long will it be before the US government follow Britain's lead and use terrorims laws to confisgate your money?

U.K. Used Anti-Terrorism Law to Seize Icelandic Bank Assets

Oct. 9 (Bloomberg)-- Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling used anti-terrorism rules to take control of assets held in Britain by a troubled Icelandic bank.

Darling stepped in to protect deposits made by U.K. residents in Reykjavik-based Landsbanki Islands hf, which the government of Iceland seized yesterday. About 300,000 U.K. account holders held deposits at Landsbanki's Internet bank, Icesave.

``To protect U.K. economic interests the government has frozen the funds and financial assets held by Landbanksi,'' Stephen Timms, financial secretary to the Treasury, said in Parliament in London today.

Icesave yesterday blocked customers from accessing deposits at its online bank. The U.K. Treasury said it will guarantee all customer deposits at Icesave, even those above the Britain's 50,000-pound ($87,800) deposit protection plan.

The Treasury released a document to Parliament yesterday showing it used sections of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 to take control of the bank's assets, saying in the statement the bank's collapse may harm the U.K. economy.

``The reason we took this action which was extraordinary action was in order to protect the interest and to try to ensure there was money there for creditors and depositors in the U.K,'' Prime Minister Gordon Brown's spokesman, Michael Ellam, told reporters in London today.``In the view of the chancellor there was clearly a potential systemic risk, and that is why the action was taken yesterday in relation to depositors.''

Lawmakers in Parliament's upper House of Lords today debated the new Counter Terrorism Bill. Some lawmakers have said the rules would curb the civil liberties by extending the time police can detain terrorism suspects without charging them for up to 42 days. The Lords vote on the plan on Oct. 13.

I don't know how long, but there are prevision in the bill that allows for the Government naming a financial institution an "agent" of the Government.

American's can not conceive of such a thing, but that Provision is in this Bill..........

Why are we giving AIG another 38 million?

Did anyone read the story about how only 10 of the 100 attendees at the Spa were AIG employees, that the rest were independent agents?? Also, the commment that this was 'standard business practice to reward it's high volume independent agents' left me thinking, maybe when you're making money.

But when you are begging the govt (AKA the taxpayer) to give you money to keep the lights on, maybe it's time to cut back.

And if those top selling independent agents just won't work for you if they don't get their lavish rewards.

Oh well, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

THere are plenty of people willing to fill those shoes.

This is disgusting.
